Slow Cooker Lemon Chinese Chicken
NOTE: To get a crisper chicken, you can flash-fry it by increasing the amount of oil and heating until almost boiling. Fry the chicken pieces for just 45 seconds, then set on a paper towel to drain before adding to the slow cooker. You can also use an insert like this one to prevent the bottom(on any recipe) from getting soggy.
